Ralph,
 
You might also mention that BeaveRun has more run off area than most of the
tracks in the country.  If people want to do some off roading in their race
cars, there is a good chance that their cars will not be damaged.  I do pace
car work on many tracks and BeaveRun is one of the few tracks that I NEVER
have to go out once we have completed our pace laps.  Not only is the track
safe, but our corner workers are THE BEST.

Ralph,

I encourage you to contact Bret Moyer at "The Race Place." Why? 1. He is a
TransAm driver and has one of the track record in his Corvette...not a small
or slow car.
2. He has a race shop near BeaverRun ( a mile north) and could use some
exposure.
3. He is a really good guy and a superb fabricator.
3. He could help attract big bore drivers.
Just a thought.

I am going to start here and then chase everyone else I can think of - I
want big bore cars to come to BeaveRun. Yes before you even say a thing I
know the track is "short" But before you all get nice and smug let's look at
some facts. LimeRock has been hosting big bore since there was such a thing!
I have been there and watched Nascar put one of its regional series up - I
actually got more track time than they did as they would not run in the
rain. I was there when IMSA was racing GTP and I have seen Formula 5000 go
head to head. So you are now going to try to convince me that your cars are
either too big or too fast for Beaver? Let's see Beaver is the same length
as LimeRock (did I mention that it is longer than a whole series of Nascar
tracks but I know you are going to answer that they only need to drive in a
circle) Beaver has a real nice long back straight and if you come out of the
uphill coming onto this correctly you really have a long stretch to put your
foot down. But then you answer the end of the front straight is a bitch,
true it is but if that is your real reason why were you poking fun of the
NASCAR boys going around in a circle?

 So let's get this straight - I have a track that is as long as LimeRock
with a back straight that I have seen a GT 40 topping in at 150mph - Hell
Mark Palmer was tapping over 90 during charity rides in a Jag! I have enough
technical stuff there that you can not confuse this track with the monster
mile - I have Gobs of track time (really gobs if you run Friday Test and
Tune) The best price per mile of racing anywhere (OK NHIS is still the
leader here) Great parties, nice showers and this year a ton more blacktop
for those who want to park big rigs on hardtop. I also have a neat Kart
track so your crew can teach you how you should really drive around the
track.

So again why aren't you here?

I want 1 solid group of THUNDER CARS!
